Yes, I was in Wal-Mart glancing at the guns when an old man came to the counter and asked for a box of .22LR. To my surprise the girl reached under the counter and pulled out a hundred round box. She even asked how many he wanted.
I did learn later that they limited you to 3, 100 round boxes or 6, 50 round ones.
I also have noticed that CDNN has been selling Colt AR-15s at very reasonable prices. Last week they had Colt target models with quite a few extras for I think $699.00
Colt got their ass kicked in the last round of contract letting for the M4 and M16. They now are desperately trying to claw back the civvie market share they turned their nose up at for years.
You can get a Colt AR-15 at Walmart for that same $699 now.
